If I Had My Druthers, I Would

I Learned, Having Played Marcia Clark, What The Value Of That Is In Your Life Because It Can Affect Everything, Every Choice You Make, The Way You Deal With A Stranger On The Street, Or Your Best Friend Or Lover.

All Of My Friends Went To College And I Got A Job At Circle Pizza, Where I Worked For 24 Hours. I Had To Call My Mother Four Times To Ask Her How To Spell Parmesan. I'm Not Kidding.

I Have Friends Say, "don't You Want To Have A Little You?" The Jury's Still Out On That For Me. I Don't Have A Definitive Answer, But I Do Know That I Can Look Back On Some Of The Things I've Worked On And Some Of The Things That Have Literally Come Out Of My Imagination And Be Just As Proud Of It As If I Had Created A Person. I Feel Like That Shouldn't Be Of Any Less Value. It Can't Be Because It's What My Life Is, And I Don't Want To Make It Smaller Or More Palatable Just Because Society Tells You To. If You Can Get Comfortable With Sacrifice, Then You Are Having It All.

Nobody Could Ever Say As Many Terrible Things To Me As I Say To Myself.
